Kalen glared at Greg before throwing a file at him.
Greg caught the file and opened it and his eyes widened in surprise."Really? You're giving me this?" Greg asked in shock, Kalen scoffed in response."With much reluctance, yes. Sign that and blue moon constructions will be merged with blade constructions and you will be in charge of the combined companies." Kalen explained."Now I'm aware construction is your speciality but blue moon is not receiving the recognition it deserves. Under your management I expect an increase in the income of blade constructions by 30% and with our popularity blue moon will also have a lot more projects and will in turn experience an increase." Kalen said, Greg nodded, a huge smile on his face."30% increase? I can handle that, what percentage is blue moon to give blade corporation annually?" Greg asked."Nothing, as long as the income of blade construction increases under your leadership, I won't request anything from blue moon construction, let the income be used to improve your pack's financial status, after your pack is in good shape and blue moon has gathered enough recognition, you can choose to stand on your own again...it won't be as easy as you think, the annual income of blade construction is already extremely positive." Kalen informed Greg, Greg stared at Kalen like he was a heavenly being."Nothing? You truly want nothing in return? And we're allowed to pull out anytime?" Greg asked in surprise and Kalen nodded, Greg grinned happily."Thank you Alpha, I don't know how to express my gratitude, you've saved me... again. I will definitely ensure the income of blade construction increases by nothing less than 50%." Greg promised solemnly.Kalen nodded in approval, despite Greg's annoying tendencies, this was why Kalen still preferred Greg to even his own branch alphas.Alpha Greg was capable and confident in his abilities, as long as he wasn't being a nuisance, whatever he set his mind to do was easily achieved, so Kalen did not doubt one bit that Greg would be able to keep to his words."Go through the documents and sign them, Wren will fill you in on the next steps, heed his instructions carefully. If you display your usual nonsense and scare my workers, I really will take my hands off all your matters." Kalen warned sternly.(Greg's thoughts: I don't think anyone could beat you when it comes to scaring your workers.... you maintain top position in that regard, hehehe.)Kalen glared suspiciously at the silly look on Greg's face."Whatever nonsense you have going through your head right now will be written as the cause of your death on your gravestone." Kalen promised him, Greg gulped audibly at Kalen's scary tone. Kalen was quiet for a while after that, pondering over a few things but was drawn out of his thoughts by Greg's sad sigh."I'm very sorry we haven't been able to find the girl Kalen. My men have tried every possible method but we are still unable to come up with anything. The name Iretomiwa although rare, there's still quite alot of people who bear this name, especially in the African regions, without a surname or a face, it's truly difficult to locate the girl." Greg explained sadly,Kalen frowned but did not reply, instead he shut his eyes and leaned his head back on his chair.Kalen had given the task of locating Miwa to Greg when his men were unable to find her, this was because alpha Greg had more connections in the African regions than Kalen himself did.Kalen was sure she was an African, however Kalen didn't even know which African country, it was practically impossible to locate her and yet Kalen couldn't give up... he just couldn't.Kalen knew it was all his fault, he had never stopped blaming himself. Kalen was supposed to go see her the next day but he failed to do so, he was delayed a week and when he finally got there, his little mate was leaving.Kalen had only met the car driving off with his mate and her family, leaving him forever. Kalen gave chase but he was already severely injured, he couldn't catch them and his pack also needed him then.Kalen had returned home with a broken heart and a promise to definitely find her again.... it had been 13 years since then and yet...."I think we really should just give up..." Greg began but a sharp glare from Kalen cut him off.Greg stared at the deadly gaze on Kalen's face in horror before lowering his head in submission, Kalen noticing he had let his wolf aura loose and quickly pulled back his wolf's oppressive aura."I'm sorry, but Kalen, I've never really asked because I know it's not my place but...the girl...who is she?" Greg asked Kalen hesitantly, Kalen failed to respond for a while and Greg sighed in defeat."It's good you know it's not your place." Kalen said coldly.Greg sighed again, looking down. They remained that way for a few minutes, Wren also came in before Kalen spoke again."My mate Greg... she is my mate." Kalen said quietly. Greg's eyes widened in surprise, turning to Wren who he was sure would have a more detailed explanation.Wren sighed before recounting what had happened that to Greg.Numerous emotions flashed through Greg's eyes from shock, to understanding before converting to sadness and then determination."You gave up your mate to save us...." Greg whispered in a sad voice before rising to his feet and falling to a knee before Kalen, a determined look on his face."I will personally look into this matter... even if it means visiting all African countries myself, I will definitely, definitely find her Alpha, no matter what." Greg vowed solemnly, Kalen sighed but nodded."I will put my trust in you." Kalen said before rising to his feet and exiting the office, heading to his room with just one thought on his mind.'where are you Miwa? Where are you?"~Miwa's POV~I walked through the dark forest, I was surrounded by thick fog, I could barely see ahead of me, I spun around trying to figure out where I was and how I could get out of here.'where on God's green earth is this?' I wondered aloud as I moved forward blindly, I walked for a reasonable distance before sighing and lowering myself to a seating position in tiredness, pulling my knees up to my chest, I lay my head on my knees and shut my eyes, contemplating giving up and just waiting right here for whatever was going to happen, but a strange feeling tugged at my heart, pulling me to move in a particular direction.'why do I feel this way' I pondered, rubbing my chest to ease the uncomfortable feeling, I was unable to ignore it and ended up following it as I began my search through the thick jungle once again.I sighted a silhouette some distance away from me , it's back turned to me and breathed a sigh of relief, at least someone was here.
You should go and have a talk with him, with how close we're standing, we wouldn't want the headlines tomorrow to be about young miss Akunna and her personal bodyguards secret affair, I'll head back first." I told him, he chuckled but swiftly left to do as I said, knowing my words were a high possibility, the paparazzi just loved scandals and what was more scandalous than a 17 year old rich Lagosian in a relationship with her body guard.I broke into a sprint as I headed back home, I nodded to the gate guard again as I jogged in, I took off my mask and hood, my lips stretched into a huge smile as I sighted who awaited me at the mansions' doors."Deji!, You haven't left for work yet?" I asked my brother who stood casually in front of me, wearing a casual sweater and black jeans, he handed me a water bottle and I grinned, quickly drinking it, I frowned, pulling a face as I tasted the contents of the bottle, I flashed Deji a hateful glare and he chuckled lowly."De
~Kalen's POV~I dodged Wren's attack, spinning back and throwing a kick at him, he stumbled back from the force and was unable to recover before I delivered another solid punch to his jaws, he groaned, dodging my next attack and swinging a fist at me, I didn't move away this time, catching the fist instead and spinning him around, I wrapped my arm around his neck in a painful headlock, he struggled for a while but soon tapped out."Damn it Kalen, enough training for today already!" He said tiredly, I frowned slightly at him but didn't say anything, grabbing a water bottle from the table and gulping down the contents."You've gotten rusty Wren, I haven't been paying attention to you so you neglected training?" I asked him in my usual cold tone, he sighed, putting down his bottle and running a hand through his hair."It's not that.... just that, I've been so busy pacifying the pack...." He trailed off when he noticed the look on my face, unsure if he c
"... when you're this stupid... you should naturally have a friend like Aiden who dares speak up for you.... even putting his life on the line like this.... You have yet to report to me on the results of your mission Aiden, see me after this.... don't worry, I won't kill you ....yet." I said calmly when I noticed he wasn't breathing, Aiden audibly sighed in relief and gave me a grateful smile, nodding before turning and glaring at the still furious youth... some people truly didn't know what was good for them.Wren's thoughts: Aiden really became daring, speaking on behalf of someone when the Alpha is like that...I could hardly even breath!Aiden's thoughts: OMG, I practically saw my life flashing before my eyes, how did I befriend such a dummy, could have gotten us both killed....I'm too handsome to die young, but then again...Kalen loves me too much....he couldn't possibly live without me... hehehehe.'Whatever it is you're thinking right now will get you killed, wi
Kalen's POV~My cold gaze slowly moved across the gathered wolves again, they all seemed to be having conflicting thoughts."Regarding the issue of my mate...I will not tolerate any further interference." I stated clearly, they bowed in unison and I nodded."Now moving unto other matters...is there any other issue the pack wishes to raise?" I asked, the clearing was quiet for a while before a voice sounded out."There is, that is if the Alpha feels it is now my turn to speak." The young wolf from before said sarcastically, I raised a brow, resting my gaze on him as he stepped forward."Within a wolf pack...the Alpha should naturally be the strongest wolf, however it has been years since our Alpha last shifted, it has me wondering if the rumors that our Alpha has lost his wolf side are true...." The young wolf trailed off and silent murmurings began spreading through the clearing, my gaze darkened slightly as I understood his intentions, I wasn't surpri
"I issue you a challenge for your right to the leadership of dark moon pack Alpha Blade." He said darkly, I nodded in approval."Challenge.... accepted." I responded in a deadly tone, as my battle trained body immediately got ready for a kill.The pack immediately rearranged themselves effectively, creating a huge space in their midst where the fight would take place, the wolf arrogantly walked to the center and stood there confidently, waiting for me."Is there anyone who also desires to challenge me?" I asked the crowd, one wolf wasn't enough to satisfy my blood thirst, I wanted to know all the disloyal ones now, I wouldn't give them the chance to back off when they realized that even without my wolf, It would be impossible to take me down, I was a Blade after all, we never relied solely on our wolves for strength, rather they were an added advantage that made us invincible, from a young age, I had been trained to be every bit as deadly as a wolf, my human for
Miwa's POV~I walked into my brother's huge office, he lifted his gaze to me, chuckling at my disguise, I unwrapped the hijab and glared playfully at him before moving to the back off his chair and grabbing his suit jacket which he had carelessly discarded, for someone who was usually crazy about keeping things in order, it was quite surprising."Rough day?" I asked in concern as I corrected the jacket that was turned inside out before taking it to the closet and hanging it up. Yeah, my brother's office had a closet, perks of being the vice president of a conglomerate, not just a closet but his whole office space was like a palace, built for comfort considering the long hours he spent here usually. It wasn't just him though, my father didn't slack on the decor of the whole building when he took over from Grandpa, and it was again redesigned after father succeeded in making Akunna corporation almost five times as successful as it used to be, he wanted the headquarters of Ak
Was it hard to get in?" Deji asked me as he concluded his work and left his desk area, coming to me with the papers in hand. He was referring to me getting into the company and up to his office unnoticed."Not really." I replied with a shrug and he frowned slightly, I raised a brow at him."I should fire the security... how could you go completely unnoticed, it seems they're slacking on the job." He said in a serious tone, I chuckled slightly, only my brother would use his own precious sister as a test for the prowess of his security."Did you want me to get caught?" I asked him amused and he shrugged."Not necessarily but I at least expected some suspicions which I would have to help cover up, it would prove they're alert." He replied, I rolled my eyes."Don't blame them, although disguised, I came in with Ty, he's pretty high up in their ranks so naturally him coming in with someone, strange or not wouldn't attract too much suspicion, they probably labelled it as on
